I am just wondering if anyone has upgraded their pedals with standard length ti spindles from tispindle.com (ward?) and the ti bowties and ti bolts from jerseycycles? If so- what was the finished weight once the upgrades were done? Thanks-

I replaced my X2's with tispindle.coms standard length ti axles, and went from 198g for the pair to 156g. In my opinion a very affordable and easy upgrade, and the company was great to deal with, customer service was excellent and my order shipped fast. I would highly recommend replacing the plastic body's if they have many miles on them.

Ahhhh what a night. I got my ward spindles last night. My brand new stainless speedplay zeros came this afternoon. I sat down this evening to swap out the spindles. The left pedal's spindle bolt came out without a problem. I swapped everything over and loctited the bolt to finish the job. The right pedal was a different story. The bolt was moving, but very slowly compared to the left pedal. So after the t20 slipping a few times, the bolt was $&@#ed. Now I've got to figure out a way to get the stripped bolt out, and find a replacement. I went back and looked at the left pedal and noticed it is really tight (the spindle does not move smoothly). I should have just saved the time and headache and just put the freakin stainless zeros on the way that they came and been happy.

I have done this exactly as above and they came out about 135grms in total

I took my jacked up pedal to the shop yesterday. I was just planning on getting a replacement bolt and asking what the mechanic recommended for the removal of the bolt. He ended up putting it in a vice, and had to get up on the bench to get enough pressure on the bolt to get it out. A great shop and a great mechanic! I think the trick is to heat up the bolt to break the loctite bond- even if it is the blue medium strength stuff.

I've done a heap of spindle changes, and most don't need heat... I've used heat (tip of soldering iron) a few times on the sticky ones and that does the trick nicely...

If after replacing the spindle u find that it's a bit grainy, replace to 2 cartridge bearings (few bucks off eBay)... and yr pedals will roll sweet... Even new pedals can be grainy after swapping out the standard axles...

do you have the specs on the bearings used to replace the stock ones? i have the grainy feel in one of my pedals after the ti spindle swap. thanks!

I ordered the ti bowties from Jerseycycles.com and waited for a week before hearing that he had not even shipped them yet. I got the bowties and ti bolts within a few days, and one of the four fit the pedal well. The other three were loose and long on the pedal body. Needless to say, I was disappointed. I returned the parts and Bob at Jerseycycles.com told me he would refund the purchase price as well as shipping. I am just going to leave well enough alone-
